Description
The Malthouse at Fremlins Brewery, built around 1890, is a notable structure made of brown brick with red brick dressings and topped with a slate roof. The front of the building, which is located inside the brewery complex, features a gable with a stepped pattern and four giant pilasters that support three round-headed arches with keystones. It also has cambered metal casements and a cambered doorcase. A fine clock is set in a stone insert, complete with a drip moulding that ends in leaf-carved corbels. There is a further extension of three bays that is obscured by a brick block leading to Old Tun House.
The side elevation rises four storeys and contains sixteen pivoting casements. The elevation facing the churchyard showcases two large gables, each adorned with four giant pilasters linked by round-headed arches, along with a corner block featuring three pilasters and cambered casements. The left side elevation displays three cambered planks and a large louvred wooden feature at the roof.
Inside, the Malthouse boasts a Queen-post roof supported by three layers of purlins and a ridge-piece. The three malting floors are supported by iron columns and feature wooden concertina floors, while part of the complex includes a cambered concrete roof.
